Think of how you do barbell rows. Put your elbows in that position. Where are they?

yeh 45 degrees from the body... i guess that makes sense really... I have only been benching with an arched back and stuff recently as i always bached flat backed etc etc and never really bothered with bench and didnt do it often enough to nail down the form... I intend to make big progress in bench in the upcoming weeks and i want to get it nailed down.

Try the back contraction thing I mentioned with arms flared and with arms 45 degrees. You should be able to feel a huge difference.
